The Association of Children's Museums and Muse Software Announce Affinity Partnership to Transform Museum Operations

The Association of Children's Museums (ACM) is pleased to announce a new affinity partnership with Muse Software, a leading museum operations management software platform. Through this exclusive collaboration, ACM's more than 500 members will gain access to innovative, integrated technology solutions designed to streamline operations, enhance visitor experiences, and maximize organizational effectiveness.

Muse Software provides an operations management platform that unifies essential museum functions including CRM, ticketing, fundraising, point-of-sale, event / camp / workshop management, and reporting into a single, user-friendly system. Purpose-built specifically for museums and cultural institutions, Muse leverages a newly created data layer and modern technology to help organizations operate more efficiently while focusing on what matters most: serving their communities. This data layer powers Muse as a core system of action, translating museum activity into insights and recommended next steps, so teams spend less time interpreting data and more time acting on it.

"As a company built exclusively for museums and cultural institutions, we’re truly honored to partner with ACM. Children’s museums are among the most community-centered organizations anywhere, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to support the incredible work they do for children and families every day,” said Travis Fuller, Founder & CEO of Muse Software. “Muse has a deep commitment to building operational tools that help these institutions run more efficiently and stay focused on their core missions."

This partnership addresses a critical need in the children's museum field. Many museums continue to rely on outdated, disconnected systems that create inefficiencies and limit their ability to serve families effectively. By providing ACM members with access to enterprise-grade technology at an exclusive discount, this collaboration empowers museums of all sizes to modernize their operations without the complexity and cost barriers traditionally associated with technology upgrades.

"ACM is committed to providing our members with resources that strengthen their capacity to serve children and families," said Arthur G. Affleck, III, President & CEO of ACM. "Muse Software's innovative, museum-specific platform represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking solution our field needs. By this partnership, we're making sophisticated operational tools accessible to children's museums nationwide, helping them work smarter so they can focus more energy on creating joyful learning experiences for the communities they serve."
